An alderman is basically a city council member. In Lindsay, the Water Commissioner is the council member assigned to pay special attention to the city’s water system, such as wells, storage tanks, repairs, service problems, and water spending. They do not run Gainesville’s water service, and they usually do not do the hands-on repair work themselves.

Lindsay’s city council makes the big decisions in public meetings, including budgets, contracts, fees, projects, and local rules. The Water Commissioner helps bring water issues to the council, asks questions of city staff, and explains concerns from residents. For a Gainesville resident, the key point is that this role matters only inside Lindsay’s city government and water system.
